This made me laugh

[charlie clown]

A story from last week's Private Eye which is reported here on the overgroundonline site but it's more or less verbatim from the P.E. version of the story. Really made me laugh when I read it last week so nice to be able to share it here...

 

Fat c***

 

According to the latest edition of current affairs and satirical magazine Private Eye, British newspaper publisher and owner of Channel 5 TV station Richard Desmond has been accused of verbally assaulting a schoolboy.

 

Apparently, the boy – who was on a work experience placement – sat at his desk in the Channel 5 offices eating a packet of crisps when Desmond entered the building.

 

The publisher, ranked as one of the country’s richest businessman, snatched the bag from the young teen’s hands and blasted: ‘You’re here to work, not stuff your face, you fat c***!’

 

Although the boy burst into tears and ran out of the building, he still enjoyed the last laugh as the placement had been arranged as a favour for his father, a senior executive at a top advertising agency.

 

After the man heard his son’s story, all adverts for Asda supermarkets – one of the lucrative contracts that keep Desmond’s empire in business – have been removed from the publisher’s Daily and Sunday Star and Daily and Sunday Express titles until further notice.

 

We’re sure Desmond’s accountants will tell him that’s a huge price to pay for a four-letter gaffe. But as the slogan says: that’s Asda price!
